Should I replace all 4 rotors?

Typically you will need to replace at least 2 rotors at a time. Ordinarily, your Dodge front rotors will wear and tear faster than the rear rotors, but this depends on a variety of different factors. Ask Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Bountiful for more details by dialing 3854855488 and ask for a multipoint examination of your complete braking system. At our Dodge diagnostics are free during each visit.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Dodge brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Dodge brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's immensely important to keep Dodge brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Dodge maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Dodge braking system together so it can function correctly.
• Rotors again called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are many types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Dodge
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Dodge rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Dodge brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined consistently for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Dodge maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Dodge.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

How often do brake rotors need to be replaced?

Usually you will need to replace rotors in pairs starting with the front axle of your Dodge as they tend to wear out quicker. Dodge rotors should be replaced by 70,000 miles but may wear out faster depending on your driving habits and a host of other factors. Schedule an appointment online with Larry H.
